Stix Picks Vols. I-II : Active Strategies for Interdisciplinary Instruction

A guidebook for teachers that offers a thematic approach to active learning & provides a basis of interdisciplinary theory studies. It offers sample discipline based ideas that integrate subjects through visual, numerical & linguistic modes of instruction that invite cooperative learning. The activities compiled in this guidebook respond to the needs of a multi-cultural society & the diverse ways in which it integrates information. Equally important is a recognition of individual learning styles within each classroom. Teachers become more comfortable with an active learning style that invites students to visualize & experience rather than learn by rote. Teachers also learn how to encourage students to express their understanding through a variety of modes that might stimulate them to draw, write, act, or verbalize. Consequently, students learn to access the bridge between what they understand & what they experience in real life. As a practical hands-on resource tool for teachers, this guidebook allows teachers to adapt materials & methods to their own students. The social sciences become a reflection of human experiences that mirror their own motives, values, & traditions & empower them with new confidence.
